    Excellent

    Excellent production that deals with the life of the founder of Pakistan - Mr. Mohammad Ali Jinnah. Mr.Jinnah is very much held in high regard by the Pakistani people and therefore this movie was well publicised even before it's release. The film follows Mr.Jinnah during his early days in the house, his meetings with Gandhi, and the reason behind his ambition and goal in life to provide a new homeland for the Muslims. It follows Mr.Jinnah after Independence and his work to establish Pakistan as a Regional power, at the same time working with other nations to provide economic prosperity for his people - all the way to his ultimate and untimely death. Good acting by the performers who realized the importance of the story and the character. Probably the best movie ever made about Mr.Jinnah. Overall rating 7/10.

    Great Movie for a great Person

    I saw the movie and saw it many times. However there were some scenes about Mr. Jinnah which I didn't like but it reflected the good picture of the founder of Pakistan. Mr. Jinah who sacrificed his life for the attainment of Pakistan was perfectly depicted in this movie.

    An Unforgettable Tribute to Father Jinnah: Commending Christopher Mitchell and the Remarkable Storytelling

    I want to express my sincere appreciation to everyone who contributed to the making of this amazing movie, especially the great actors, the hardworking producers, and, most importantly, the director Christopher Mitchell. His outstanding efforts have made it possible to tell Father Jinnah's tale in a clear and powerful way. Many Indians and even some Pakistanis are still in the dark about the full picture and the crucial moments that influenced the creation of Pakistan from Hindustan, thus he has worked carefully to tell the genuine story to the general public through this Documentary.

    As stated in the prologue, Father Jinnah's demise has left a huge hole that can never be replaced because no one will ever be able to compare to him. It is regrettable that, after giving up everything, including his health and, most importantly, his intense love for Pakistan, he did not get the chance to see his vision come to pass and shape Pakistan into the powerful country he envisioned. May Allah grant him the greatest position in Jannat (Paradise) and bless his soul.
